This tender is in the active stage and employs a selective procurement method, specifically a competitive procedure with negotiation. The submission deadline for bids is 28 August 2018, and the project has a total value of £97,550,000, supporting services within the CPV category of foreign economic-aid-related services. The contract period will commence from 27 April 2019 and will last until 26 April 2029. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on economic development and service provision in northern Nigeria. Companies that specialise in innovative economic solutions, job creation strategies, and capacity building will be particularly well-suited to compete. Furthermore, smaller enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises are encouraged to participate, as the project aims to enhance local benefits, including increased incomes and job creation for over three million individuals throughout the region. ## Notice LINKS will support development of a vibrant and diversified economy in the three key northern Nigerian states of Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa, with these collectively acting as a powerful engine of northern economic growth. Benefits will be both for the states themselves, while also creating real market opportunities for the wider north, counterbalancing the wealth and investment that is currently primarily found in Lagos and the South. LINKS will raise the incomes of at least 3,000,000 people in northern Nigeria, also supporting the creation of 100,000 full time equivalent jobs, and contributing to a 15% rise in potentially taxable private sector revenues.
